Easter may still be two months away with it being a late one this year, but that doesn't mean we can't start indulging in our favourite sweet treats in preparation for the big day.
One supermarket that's helping us do that is Aldi, and its Easter offerings certainly don't disappoint.
Included in its Easter line-up you'll find no less than seven different varieties of hot cross bun, and there's a flavour that should appeal to pretty much any palette.
From traditional buns to sticky toffee pudding and rhubarb and custard, if you've got a sweet tooth, you're likely to want to give them a go.
However, some shoppers may find the flavours a bit too left-field, and the flavours are bound to stir up those who believe only 'traditional' buns will do.
But before we all start arguing about what a 'real' hot cross bun is, let's remember it's 2020, and just agree that people can like or dislike what they like.
If a flavour doesn't tickle your pickle, don't buy it, but if it does, tuck in!
